Damage

Tool required

Overview

Amethyst spikes are structures that act as walls that inflict damage to all players upon contact, except to whoever placed it and his/her teammates. Spikes will also inflict a small amount of damage on players each time they attack it, even if they are out of range of the actual spikes. When placed, mobs/players can't walk through it, which is very useful when running away from an attacker, or building a base. Amethyst spikes can only be broken by hammers or amethyst tools. Hammers are generally faster at breaking amethyst spikes than amethyst tools. Currently, amethyst spikes are the most damaging item in the game, doing 70 damage per second on contact, which is more than double the damage the dragon sword does per hit (30).
